Question

Given the relation x = (y − 1)( y − 2)( y + 3), identify the x- and y- axis intercepts.

Answer 1

Hello!

First, let's graph this relation x using a graphing calculator. It will help us to understand the exercise better:

The line in blue is the relation x.

Let's analyze it:

Three vertical interceptions (y-axis):

• Y' = (0, -3)

,

• Y'' = (0, 1)

,

• Y''' = (0, 2)

One horizontal interception (x-axis):

• X' = (6, 0)

Answer:

Alternative B.
